Tag: desegregation

Kincaid Riley, a senior at Magian High, just wants to bring people together ~ smart kids, athletic kids, and magic kids. When his lobbying efforts to desegregate the town’s schools finds success, he stands ready to help transfers from other schools in the district. He’s sure the bullying Punkers will settle down and stop harassing the new students soon. He’s wrong.

Amity Griffin is in line to be valedictorian at Wiser High, the high school noted for academic brilliance. When the district scrambles her plans and forces her to attend Magian High, she is furious … until she meets Kincaid and discovers there are more ways than one to be smart. In fact, kids will have to get over all kinds of prejudices and preconceptions about people who are different if they are going to save the school — and their lives!

Welcome

Welcome to Special Novel Ties, a site where each book listing is cunningly “tied” to the one listed previously by a common, albeit often thin, thread. Perhaps you'll find your next “favorite author" in this way. If this manner of serendipity isn't your cup of tea, you may choose to browse by tag (a.k.a. keyword) instead. Each book's primary genre is represented by one tag. Authors are asked to provide nine additional keywords to help encourage serendipities.

But wait, there's more. You may also choose to search this site, typing your own terms in the search box or view a random post.
